Avenger Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo will produce an upcoming thriller for Netflix, titled Dhaka. The film will star Chris Hemsworth, who is famous for his portrayal of the Marvel god Thor. It will be directed by debutant Sam Hargrave.

The film is an action-thriller, where Hemsworth's character will help to rescue a kidnapped Indian boy from the Bangladeshi city of Dhaka.

According to Deadline, the film will be shot in India and Thailand. The Russos have several projects lined up after they wrap up the Avengers franchise. They have purchased the rights to Nico Walker's novel, Cherry, the upcoming horror-comedy Assassination Nation. They've managed to pull this off while making the two massive Avengers Infinity War films.

Asked how they manage to juggle their projects, "I don't know if it is high functioning ADD or what, but having spent the last 10 years as television producers and then making four Marvel movies in six and one-half years, I think we've really honed our efficiency skills and yeah, we've been able to work at a high volume," the Russo brothers have been quoted as saying.

The Russos are now preparing for the final round of reshoots for the last part of Avengers Infinity War, which is said to be the conclusion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will release in May 2019.
